Calm down with the praise and memories.There's not many free Saturdays in the fixture list to fit in The Dick Barrie Testimonial meeting.

Does Jake Knight still ride or would his average be more than 2

Don't like the idea of dropping riders once they are signed but if there is a need for a double change how about Bellego or Kus and Zach Wajknecht instead of Bridger and the 2 point rider

For years now we've been saying the best way to get better racing is to whack a few yards off the football pitch at the corners.Surely now that Berwick Rangers get one or two players sent off each game this would be the ideal time to do that.Better racing for the speedway and a smaller pitch for the nine or ten players left to run about on so they won't get too tired.Seems a win-win situation to me.

Almost right there.It was actually a table had been offered- to put all the prospective offers on.

In the unlikely event Berwick get through to the semi=final and are serious about going further in the cup maybe they should think about replacing Stachyra with Busk Jacobsen-if it's not too late now to make team changes

If we can sign a good reserve at number 6 with the potential to ride like Simon Lambert last night and then a decent replacement for Seb we can still do something bit special this year.So absolutely no pressure on Scott and the rest of the management team to get it right!!!

Put in Ashley Morris instead of Alex Edberg and you might be better.Number1 could be more difficult though.Nick Morris?

Might be difficult to find someone with that average who's is available and has potential to increase the average.Andre Compton or Anton Rosen?

It looked like hard riding from Ryan right enough and couldn't be classed as first bend bunching on the second bend.Still must all be friends as he's guesting today for us.Personally I thought Sam Masters efforts were much worse in heat 13.In the original running when Seb stopped it looked like he rode straight at TJ but missed him but at least he didn't give up and did exactly the same in the rerun but with more success this time.I think the referee's box window was probably filled in with shale like everything else last night!No complaints about the result though.Edinburgh rode the conditions much better and seemed to want the result more so congratulations to them for that.

That'll be because kevin Doolan's visa application has been turned down

It's a very unique dialect possibly of a quite inbred nature

how can they be expected to declare their intention before the AGM when that decision has surely got to be based on any decisions made at the AGM regarding team strenghs,leagues etc.Looks like another typical BSPA decision based on a complete lack of any common sense

Track looked really heavy at the start so Alex would be in poor fettle after the walk round.Also just walked back to the pits at the of the meeting without joining the rest of the team on the centre green.Maybe too many injuries have made him worried about riding on a heavy track but he didn't seem a happy bunny last night.

If you sign an assessed 7 point rider and the next 5 meetings are away they won't have seen any of the tracks before.At least the names in the last post have all ridden in this country before.

What happened to Josef Tabaka who rode at Edinburgh?I know he was injured a while ago but he was quite quick around Berwick

For what it's worth I really enjoyed last night's meeting too.Close scores and fairly close racing.Guests for both sides trying and scoring as you would hope.It was also really good to see Richard Hall (and Oliver Greenwood too) coming out after the meeting and racing hard for four laps on four occasions I think.Nice to see someone trying to get set-up right when there is a bit of time.It was also good to see Liam Carr riding confidently again (69.4 seconds is a pretty good time at his stage of recovery).Also good to see Jade Mudgway riding again after the meeting.All in all a good night both during the meeting and after till 9.30.Credit where credit's due this week

they might if they sit in the bus with the heater full on

Engines won't help much if clutch is still knackered!

Going to be a small premier league next year.That's Workington,Berwick,Redcar and Plymouth in their last year and it's only a couple of weeks into the season.

don't know about last night as wasn't there but against Glasgow if they had watered the track half way through it might have made a difference-but there again it might not What average is James Wright nowadays.See he was second in testimonial at Workington last night and report said it was a gater,s paradise.Home from home at berwick,eh?

Not sure what average Ben is on but it's less than 5 I think.If that's right and there is about 8.5 points to play with between numbers 2,7 and the shortage to 42.5 would there not be a chance to sign a stronger number 7-possibly someone with up to about a 4 point average.Absolutely no idea if somebody like that exista but just an idea.

Hynek Stichauer and Joe Jacobs

Fair point but short term he would be stronger than r/r even if not there every week
